FMPD invites community to come have ‘Coffee with a Cop’

The Flower Mound Police Department is inviting residents to have “Coffee with a Cop” on Friday evening.

Coffee with a Cop was started in 2011 in Hawthorne, California because the police department wanted to interact more, and more successfully, with the community. The effort has become a popular event among many police departments across the country, as they look to meet more residents and engage in conversations with them.

“Coffee with a Cop is a great way for the community to get to know officers, ask questions and address any concerns while enjoying a cup of coffee on us,” the department wrote on Facebook this week.

Flower Mound’s next “Coffee with a Cop” will be at the Starbucks at 2301 Justin Road from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
